Tips for Humanitarians
UNHCR provides protection and monitors delivery of services to all refugees in Buramino Camp. Camp Management is done by ARRA with support from UNHCR.
Camp Coordination Meetings, co-chaired by ARRA and UNHCR, are held weekly in Buramino Camp with humanitarian actors.
All refugees in Buramino Camp are individually registered in UNHCR’s proGres database and hold ration cards. Ration card numbers are useful for referral between partners and for distribution events. Refugees have been given a Proof of Registration document showing familyrelated and individual details, including each person’s photo.
Biometrics (fingerprinting) has been used for registering refugees living in Buramino. Biometrics assists in preventing double registration. No refugee household should have more than one ration card.
Treatment of SAM (Severe Acute Malnutrition) and Treatment of MAM (Moderate Acute Malnutrition), for both Under 5’s and MOC (Malnourished Other Categories) Programme, a targeted feeding programme for severely malnourished children between 5 years and 18 years
